Well, first of all, a ROM dump is when you copy the ENTIRE ROM
(read-ONLY-memory, has all the functions in it like sin, graph stuff,
line(, text(, etc, etc...  TI-9x's internal programing) to, say, your
computer so you can see how it works so that people can make emulators
(like anhaving an 83 on the PC) or find functions that TI hasn't released
(yet?), like other asm funtions that you can call, but don't know the
address to, or how to use it, etc, etc...

Well, hope that cleared that up for you...

BTW, ti-83 ROM is FlashROM, so you don't have to make a whole nother chip
if you want to change the ROM, just try to get access to a ROM flasher (I
actually don't know much about it, but there's my 2 cents...)
